The Scraps [Jul. 17th, 2009|10:07 am]

the scraps

Contents:
roasted chicken breast
broccoli rabe
yellow pear tomato
lite cheese
pastina with ramano, parsley, and ground pepper
Rainier cherries

I wrote a little bit more about the broccoli rabe over at my blog Boston Bento.  It's also called rapini and if you've never tried it, you should really pick some up.  I think it might be one of my favorite veggies/leafy greens out there.  It is naturally a bitter green, but mellows a lot with cooking.

Not really a bento story but I know a lot of you love Shinzi Katoh and I just got my first order from the Japanese website, which has been updated with a new shopping cart feature, complete details are on my blog. They have tons of bento boxes too and accessories on his site. I got this adorable teapot set and more goodies.

Care question [Jul. 16th, 2009|01:49 pm]

I received two boxes, very nice ones too, but I really don't know about the care instructions. I'm sure they aren't dishwasher safe (I don't even have one anyway), but I'd like to know what else I should be careful of.

I've been sporadic with my bento-making, but I will try to make it a habit. It makes me happy knowing that I have a yummy, neatly-packed lunch to come home to. :)



Top tier: leftover crockpot beef roast/gravy, white rice with Tony Chachere's creole seasoning on top
Bottom tier: broccoli & cauliflower, Colby Jack cheese cubes with the cute kitty pick. I'm rereading the Harry Potter series right now and the pick reminded me of Crookshanks. :)
On the side: Wheat Thins & sugar free grape Kool-Aid (not shown), gummi worms

Couple new bentos! [Jul. 15th, 2009|09:27 am]

I've been remiss in photographing my bentos lately, but here are a couple:


Glazed carrots, kalamata olives, rice, and Moroccan chicken with currents and dried apricots.


This next one is about how they will all look for a while since my wife started a rather intense and very restrictive diet. It's all meat, veggies, one fruit, and one small starch for a while. This bento box is the perfect size for this, however I might not be taking any more pics for a while. I'm sure they would be a little boring to look at.


Steak, asparagus, mushrooms, Wasa wheat cracker w/ wasabi furikake, apple with Tajin fruit seasoning (Has anyone else used this stuff? It's freaking amazing!).

BTW, I wanted to share a couple pics of the best damn lunch bag we've ever used. It's from Harry and David and we bought it at an outlet mall in Park City a while back. I haven't checked but it's probably available online somewhere. Pics after the cut.

spaghetti dogs seem like a great way to spice up the normal cut up hotdogs... a very cool variation of the octodog :)

Extra - Leftover reuse and mini salad! [Jul. 14th, 2009|04:24 pm]

Contents: white rice onigiri with whole sea salt and a doggie nori face, soy sprouts, carrot bits and oil and soy sauce in the fish container.

I had that poor, little onigiri leftover from yesterday and I came up with what I think is something nice to use it up: the onigiri case itself could be pretty big if you use it wisely, so I added some corn salad in the main section to be mixed with the soy sprouts and the carrot bits for a (good-sized, after all) mini salad! ;-)
